Progressive AV Lighting Products

Our installations tend to use one of two lighting brands - Lutron and Rako.

The Rako approach to lighting design is very innovative, yet simple to conceive and install. Lighting control, in the traditional sense, involves numerous light switches and dimmers. But to achieve any effect, each light must be manually switched on. The installation of anything more elaborate involving automatic dimmers for instance, usually requires a complete rewiring of the room. Rako provides an elegant alternative: a scaleable and totally wireless lighting control system.

Unlike those of a conventional system, Rako's control panels communicate with dimming modules using wireless communication. This allows the addressable dimmers to be fitted locally to the light fittings. With 64,000 possible addresses and a range of fifteen metres, or one hundred metres with a booster, the largest lighting schemes can be accommodated. System commissioning and the programming of scenes can be performed either via control panel, hand held remote or from a PC, using intuitive software.

With Rako, homes can now have a lighting control system for one or multiple rooms very simply and with a minimum of fuss and disruption. Home theatre, security and door entry systems can all be integrated making Rako automated lighting a refreshingly practical, real-world proposition.

The Lutron approach makes its basis the quality of light. Lutron products have always been known for being well designed, manufactured to high standards, 100% tested, reliable and durable to assure your satisfaction. High standards of design and manufacture mean that many Lutron installations from the late 1960s and '70s are still operating today.

Lutron developed the original electronic solid-state dimmer in 1961, and now offer the industry's most comprehensive range of lighting control products. From very subtle, to very bright there is an integrated Lutron product for whatever the scene from bright metallic kitchen worktop, to cosy romantic living room warm lighting, to subtle highlighting of your favorite wall hangings.
